Technical Abstract

An overdrive method includes: performing loss compression to an input image to generate image data, and storing the image data into a memory; reading the image data from the memory and decoding the image data to obtain a previous image; obtaining a current image, calculating a difference between a current grey level at a location of the current image and a previous grey level of the previous image at the location; calculating a gain according to the difference and a threshold; calculating an overdrive grey level according to the current grey level and the previous grey level; and mixing the overdrive grey level and the current grey level based on the gain to generate an output grey level to replace the current grey level.
